DETROIT — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has taken Cameron Sutton into custody Sunday evening.
Sutton was wanted for domestic battery by strangulation in Florida. According to HCSO, Sutton's attorney contacted their warrant section to tell them that he was going to Tampa to turn himself in. But he didn't do so until Sunday at 8:24 p.m.
He is being held at the Orient Road Jail, HCSO said.
"After weeks of evading law enforcement, this man has finally made the right choice to turn himself in," Sheriff Chad Chronister said. "Domestic violence has no place in our community, and no one is above the law here in Hillsborough County. My thoughts are with this woman as she continues to heal from this man’s gruesome actions.”
The Detroit Lions released Sutton on March 21. He played for Tennessee between 2013 and 2016.
HCSO has released Sutton's booking video on YouTube. You can watch the video here.
